Paula Sherriff – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Paula Sherriff on 2016-05-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average rota gap is for junior doctors in NHS foundation trusts in the most recent period for which figures are available; and what assessment he has made of the effect on services of the size of that gap.

Ben Gummer

The Department does not collect this information. Rota arrangements for junior doctors are a matter for individual National Health Service foundation trusts.

Contact details for NHS foundation trusts and all other NHS authorities can be found on the NHS Choices website:
